With the conservative world still mourning Andrew Breitbart, one of his confidantes stated yesterday that Breitbart's plan of releasing tapes of a young Barack Obama would go on. As he told Sean Hannity last night, the tapes will be released in a week to ten days.

So what's going to be on these tapes?

I had a chance to peruse the HotAir comments and some common themes keep surfacing:

- Radical racial rhetoric. - Radical Marxist rhetoric. - Film of Obama with Bill Ayers or Bernie Dohrn. - Film of Obama during his 1980s trip to Pakistan.

I think that would be better news for the Democrats than the Republicans. Hillary rides to the rescue and becomes the fill-in for Obama. Other than foreign affairs, she is somewhat isolated from Obama's baggage. In some ways, she even gets the victim mantle because Obama stole the nomination from her in 2008 through deception.

Hillary would cream Romney (if he is the Republican nominee) since she takes away the biggest positive that Romney brings to the general election - he isn't Obama. I wouldn't like the match-up between Hillary and any of the announced Republican candidates.

(If Mitt can leave the GOP to protest Reagan, why can't I do the same in protest of Romney?)

You are correct. Today’s population associates communism with labor camps related to agriculture or industrial sweat shops ala Russia and China.

As long as jobs, automobiles, public transportation to and from malls, cell phones, stocked grocery stores and TV stations are accessible - people cannot envision deprivation in any form. They believe that should they face adversity - the government has a program to help; unemployment, food stamps, rent subsidies and medicaid.

Why worry?

My BS detector pegged on the “will be released in 7 to 10 days part”. Why the delay? Isn’t this a bit like tying up the movie’s hero in the second to last reel and expecting that he won’t find a way to escape?

Perhaps tapes that would have the effect of exposing Obama as some sort of “Manchurian candidate” with hard evidence would be a good expose. Perhaps that would have true damaging effect if the dangers were clear and convincing.

To give an answer to your question I will say that Obama and Hillary are under the control of the same cabal/enablers who decided that Obama was the person for their times. Hillary just laid back like a good soldier. Who/what is this cabal? I have my thoughts and opinions which don’t seem to be the public’s perception.

Anything showing Obama with Ayers that goes further back than we already know would be great, obviously. Especially, if it's weatherman-type discussion.

My guess is, it will live video (or audio) confirming accounts we already have of Obama's radicalism. E.g., something that would bring to life stuff along the lines of Dr. John C. Drew's recollections:

Naturally, our conversation gravitated towards the coming revolution. I expected that my undergraduate friends would be interested in hearing my latest take on contemporary Marxist thought. I was in for quite a bit of a shock.

My graduate studies that fall had tempered my earlier Marxism with a more realistic perspective. I thought a revolution was not in the cards anymore. There was no inevitability, in my mind, to the old idea that the proletariat would rise up and overthrow the ruling classes. Now, the idea that we could entirely eliminate the profit motive from an advanced industrialized economy seemed like a childhood fantasy. The future, I now thought, would belong to nations with mixed economic systems -- like those in Europe -- where there was government planning of the economy combined with a greater effort to produce a more equitable distribution of wealth. It made more sense to me to focus on elections rather than on preparing for a coming revolution.

Boss and Obama, however, had a starkly different view. They believed that the economic stresses of the Carter years meant revolution was still imminent. The election of Reagan was simply a minor set-back in terms of the coming revolution. As I recall, Obama repeatedly used the phrase "When the revolution comes...." In my mind, I remember thinking that Obama was blindly sticking to the simple Marxist theory that had characterized my own views while I was an undergraduate at Occidental College. "There's going to be a revolution," Obama said, "we need to be organized and grow the movement." In Obama's view, our role must be to educate others so that we might usher in more quickly this inevitable revolution.

I know this may be implausible to some readers, but I distinctly remember Obama surprising me by bringing up Frantz Fanon and colonialism. He impressed me with his knowledge of these two topics, topics which were not among my strong points -- or of overwhelming concern to me. Boss and Obama seemed to think their ideological purity was a persuasive argument in predicting that a coming revolution would end capitalism. While I felt I was doing them a favor by providing them with the latest research, I saw I was in danger of being cast as a reactionary who did not grasp the nuances of international Marxist theory.
